[BLACKSMITH] Epic Gas Forge Build!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- I needed to up-grad the gas forge in the workshop and well I think this is quite the up-grad. Join me as I show you what I made and how I made it. With the help of UK Knife maker Supplies I was able to build this monster of a gas forge. This forge should be able to keep up with most of my needs in the workshop with its large capacity and excellent isolation. It's also assisted by the Gameco 1inch gas burner formally sold by Alec Steele. Which is more than man enough to supply me with the heat I should need to make large orders and multi runs of objects in the hundreds.

If your Interested in a forge or you would like something like this but smaller or long then please email me im really happy to help with enquires.
Also please check out UK Knife maker Supplies for all your knife needs they also sell the gamaco burners.
I bought a gas forge from Dan and it’s just awesome! I bought a two segments with two burners and two doors. It heats up very fast. It runs calmly (not a big roar) unless you run it at max. The outside doesn’t become extremely hot. It’s well insulated, I have the version without K-wool but with the fire resistant bricks. This is good no unhealthy K-wool fibers and the
bricks are very easy to shape. The forge is very versatile. I can also use it half by putting some bricks halfway and run it with one burner. It’s really not comparable with cheap forges you see around. This is a sturdy, robust, durable, well insulated, well built and designed forge. I’m very happy with it and can recommend this to every blacksmith! Thank you Dan!
Looks like a great concept to sell as a kit Dan’, particularly as one with different options of inclusions (ie with or without burners, refractory etc). I wonder if there’d be interest in a slightly smaller one as well? I built a gas forge of a slightly larger volume than yours, built from an old gas bottle and using two of the Gameco burners and with the ability to block it off part way along to reduce the volume and close off one burner. It works well like that but I ended up building a much smaller one with one burner for small tasks and I’m finding that I use that quite a bit for small simple tasks.
I agree, i built a tiny gas forge (would not fit a fist but the cavity is quite long) a while ago. The thing burns something like a pound of gas an hour at most using an old plumbing torch on an 11kg bottle which lasts for months when forging once a week as a hobby. I love that thing. SO useful for making gardening knives, chisels, punches, nails, rivets and all that stuff...
What do you think of a waste oil blower forge, i have a waste oil heater in my shed made out of a gass bottle, it can get white hot without a blower,
Looking forward to the kit. I would consider buying one. (depending on the price ofcourse).
Amazing build, maybe if you could go over what regularator you use and maybe what to look out for?
That forge is sweet!! I really need to get back into some blacksmithing projects as I think that my forge is getting lonely 😕 Great video, thanks 👍👍👍👍
Nice looking forge, looks like a good size for bench top mount.
Just wondering why you are not opting for a ribbon burner?.
Regards, The kiwi.
Not not open. thank you for the comment.
@@danielmoss2089 if you want one I'll make you a burner and trade you for a hammer.
I might be interested in a kit, but that would depend on pricing (shipped) along with estimated gas usage/hour. Could you cover that information in an upcoming video?
Cost needs a little more planning but this is a well built forged designed with mid market value so I doubt it will be like a cheap forge but I want it to be cheaper than a top end. Kits will also be cheaper cause your doing the expensive bit. I also have a flat rate for shipping. I can give gas usage when the door is sorted.
Ill keep you posted.
Looks toasty! Let me know when you're offering the kits for these and how much they're gonna be please. Ordered a brand new anvil from UKS the other month (hopefully it arrives this month! Can't wait :D), so kinda skint right now, but definitely would be keen to get a better forge than my crappy home made one as soon as I am able to :)
Cheers!

Excellent setup. Looks great and I hope you have fun with it. Very similar to mine. I actually wish I had the capability for coal also. Cheers.
Thanks, you too!
Awesome build Dan I laughed hard at the start it was brilliant dude. This is an awesome forge build mate. Thanks heaps for the shout out.
Thanks for the burner dude hope people say hello.
Would love to see a forge building series.
Dan, I want one add to it. You know the upgrades! I like the design. Im 100% interested. I'll keep in touch.

Awesome video like all the rest of them. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and knowledge with us. Cheers!
Well fabricated forge, you do nice work. Nevertheless, IMHO, it's way overbuilt. A forge built from an old propane bottle is every bit as efficient, and much easier to construct. If you want an even more efficient design, use a single-line blown ribbon burner angled tangent to the radius of your cylinder. This creates a swirl flame which burns much longer within the chamber, imparting more heat to the forge.
smart stuff mate. any time I heated stuff up in the past, I used oxygen acetylene. as you'll know you have to keep moving the torch around to heat it up equally. looks like it should take off 👍
I want one, fully built, please.😃
Awesome forge build Dan! Thanks and God Bless you sir!
Thanks, you too!
Nice work wow!! Great design work too!! Looks like a really nice gas forge option, I bet you’re going to sell a bunch of those!!
That's the plan! thank you
Nice design. I will be interested in your forge building principles videos. I am interested in burner to forge volume considerations and anything on fuel efficiency design. Also fuel flow and restriction considerations. Well all info really haha.😁 I love all that stuff on how things work well or don't so much. Thanks Dan, great video.
Why the small opening at the back of the forge?
So you can but longer bars in. Your not going to heat the whole bar but I find it super hand when I need to forge out stock. There is a plug for it to so it's not always open.
Awesome forge! For the door, have considered having one that runs on a track sideways? That way if the track was sloped the door would be self closing.
I ordered one of these forges in December 2021. I have not received anything yet and I don't think that Daniel intends to send me anything at this point. He has ignored many of my emails asking for updates. I do not recommend giving your money to Daniel, there is a good chance you won't receive anything.
Nice build. Why not use refractory all the way around instead of using kao wool? I've worked with all of this in the molten metal industry and know that know kao wool will burn out quicker and it stays in the air and is not good for the lungs.
Very nice. Beautiful forge setup.
Thank you very much!
What psi are you running?
Between 3-4 bar you do the maths.
1bar is about 14psi.
Do you have a pdf of the plans available?
Sorry not going to do that. If you want to buy laser cuts I'm happy to sell them.
Hi Dan after watching this again what temperature rated insulation did you use
Love the forge! Can’t wait to see this door! And the heat treatment oven conversion is going to be awesome!
Can't wait for the forge building principles videos! I've been playing with a design for a double burner setup, and I would love to challenge my own drawings with proper knowledge.
I'm just going of some basic I have picked up along the way won't be any thing special. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Dan did u do a vid on pouring The inside casting of the refractory?
like it send one to me in the U.S. to expand your market looks like a cool design.
send me your address

You said, "gas forges suck". Why the change of heart/mind/sanity?
When Did I say this? No Change of heart, mind or sanity.
@@danielmoss2089 . Four years ago you did a video on gas forges vs.solid fuel forges and "why gas forges suck" through 'trust me I'm a blacksmith' on UA-cam.
I keep trying to paste a link to it or a screen shot, but UA-cam won't let me.
Maybe this will work?

@@Andrew-qo6br opening line in the video is?
@@Andrew-qo6br ok there's a little bit of an intro but after the intro the first words that come out of my mouth about the video.
@@Andrew-qo6br I'm assuming you haven't or won't watch the video? You'll defend a misinform child that uses a click bait video but you won't actually hear the other side of the story. Nice thanks buddy your a great human.
Hey Dan, is this something you sell and can ship to Canada?
I have a much simpler version of this I'm happy to ship in kit form if your interested?
@@danielmoss2089 can you provide me more details and maybe rough idea on costs?
Drop me an email industrialartstudios@gmail.com I'll send you some more details.
Wonderful video and concept!
Thank you
Dan, I'm in the USA and would very much be interested in getting one of these forges! At the very least, I want to get one or maybe two of the burners!
Thanks so much for your videos and the projects you do! This DOES look like and EPIC forge!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
take my money!
OK xx
Contact established!
The forge series sounds good mate, would like to see the insulation part of the roof especially as it is curved.
looks sweet! can you forge weld with it?
I should think so. I doubt mild but most mid to high carbon steels I would hope so
Ribbon burner vs venturi??
vs oil?
@@danielmoss2089 venturing burner like those used on Forge in Fire
@@danielmoss2089 haha ...venturi burner...
@@danielmoss2089 check out Tryell Knifeworks forge build
Cool build Daniel 👍👍👍
Thank you
Hi Dan
Thanks for another great video!
That is a very nice looking forge you have built. Unfortunately in Perth Australia we dont have access to the same range of refractory or other forge building products at anything like a reasonable price. So we are left to cobble together what we can. Subsequently Im really looking forward to future videos covering your thoughts and ideas on forge building so that I can steal them. Maybe then I will finish up with a forge that isn't always in need of an upgrade.
Thanks again mate for the inspirations and demonstrations that you put out.
Hi there. Also from WA , Fremantle. Have you tried kiln lining - check out "The Potter's Mart" in O'Connor. Or Mathews Industries Osborne Park. Good utubes by "lucky gen 101

Thanks for the info. I have looked at all these sources in the past but most of the products they supply are targeted at pottery kilns that operate at lower temps than blacksmiths forges.
Im still looking for a mad scientist who produces good quality high temp refractory that lends itself to DIY.
FYI have a look at Clicksprings videos. He did one on a furnace build about a week ago and he referenced some Australian products if your interested.
Thanks again.
if you paint forges hi-temp silver they will retain slightly more heat.
I did know that. The paint on this on is a high temp manifold paint but ill look into the silver stuff.
